Long Island DWI Defense Lawyer
There are many aspects of DWI arrests that can be challenged in court. A police officer must have a legitimate reason to pull over an individual. For example, an officer cannot pull someone over just because they saw them leave a bar or restaurant. Police officers will often do whatever it takes to arrest someone for a DWI. If proper procedure is not followed, it may lead to a dropped case. Law enforcement personnel can also make unfair judgments when conducting field sobriety tests. Road conditions, medical health and current weather must be considered when proceeding with these tests.
